There use to be MyServer (or WinServer?), that we could download and install from MS. When I was usin XP-Home - I had a VFP COM/IIS project that I needed to do - but - no IIS download (not even one for sale!) - so I had to buy XP-Pro. I guess you have to buy Win2K or XPP to have it!

I wonder if Robert is talking about configuring IIS, or an actual install! I don't MS will let it go unless you buy it trundled with the OS! (I wouldn't - but I'm a capitalist!:-)
